Joe Davis & The Poetic Diaspora

Journeying through the sonically diverse realms of old school and new school hip hop, R&B, funk, and soul, Joe Davis & The Poetic Diaspora seamlessly blend melodic harmonies, smooth instrumentation, and raw, poetic energy to tell stories of struggle, resilience, and celebration. Formed in the heart of the Twin Cities, the collective is dedicated to crafting vibrant soundscapes around honest narratives that reflect their community's sacred humanity. Each song is an ancestral echo, a battle cry calling for freedom, an unending dance for justice and joy, welcoming all of the diaspora home.

"Joe Davis, a poet, educator and cultural architect who fronts the soul, funk and spoken word ensemble The Poetic Diaspora, has served as teaching artist at dozens of high schools and universities, and most recently was artist-in-residence at Luther Seminary, where he graduated with a master’s degree in theology of the arts." —Minnpost
